Weekend Trip to A Canyon Stay with Mini A-frame
Absolutely beautiful property. Thoughtful accommodations(games, solar powered flashlight/radio, books, hiking poles). Truly a wonderful experience. We didn’t encounter any bears but we did get to see a few deer. I recommend getting there during the light hours so you can find your way. Easy to follow instruction. Hosts are responsive and welcoming. Propane fire pit was a nice bonus. Our indoor heater was out of propane but we were comfortable. Bathroom and shower are down a little ways from the a-frame but not a bad walk. Definitely set up for a camper ready for a little glamp :)

Kate and Ben's A-frame was awesome. Just a few minutes from the highway, but still very secluded. No other buildings or anything around. The cabin was super cute and cozy. And with the side open, there's a great view of the canyon during the day and the stars at night. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to A Canyon Stay with Mini A-frame
What a perfect getaway spot. This cabin is nestled amidst hills and forest and is such a peaceful retreat from the world. The cabin has everything that you need to just unplug and the shower is amazing! A vehicle with clearance is a must to climb the last part of the drive, especially if it has been raining. I will definitely return!

1 night at A Canyon Stay with Mini A-frame
Kate's land was beautiful, and the mini a-frame was so sweet and special. There has been a lot of thought put into the space. A nice balance of amenities offered, including yummy instant coffee! (like, really good instant coffee?!), kitchen needs and charcoal grill, hot shower, composting toilet and all the things you need to feel cozy to go to sleep. At the same time, we still lost cell phone service and were out in some degree of wilderness.
I would definitely recommend staying here!

Staying in the A Frame was a dream: the structure opens up so you can relax and take in the beauty of the mountains. The hosts were fantastic and provided everything my dog and I needed for our overnight trip. The cherry on top is the custom outdoor shower. A perfect balance of remote with select amenities to make for a great trip. I would highly recommend a stay here and am hoping to return myself!

This tiny cabin was perfect for our weekend getaway and we can't wait to come back! We were comfortable as two adults and 2 dogs (beds pushed together, extra stuff stored inside one of the beds) and all 4 of us enjoyed lounging on the deck with the side of the A-frame opened like an awning. It rained one evening but we stayed dry, watching the storm through the large window side. The temperature dropped at night to perfect sleeping weather and the provided bedding and blankets were plenty warm.
We hiked (bushwacked) up to the ridge at Kate's suggestion and enjoyed awesome views of the Big Belts and the canyon. River access is close by for a swim in the Missouri and a few beers at the bar 5 mins away made for a great little happy hour.
We brought our own camp kitchen setup and propane stove but a charcoal grill and table are provided in a cooking pavilion and plates/mugs/utensils for two. It felt luxurious having a "real bathroom" and a hot shower while camping!
We thoroughly enjoyed the glamping experience at the A-frame so much that my husband now wants to build one :)
